Pfft... Dexter doesn't count as a new pet....

Hubby said no more pets... But we ended up with more anyway... (I have some how become Ms Animal rescue lady and whenever someone ends up with something they can't keep... They come to me). Adam's gotten used to watching me sit and fiddle around with things to make new houses... But about halfway through making this one, he banned me from building anything once we have kids... A bit of a potty mouth me thinks - but a happy new bunny!

Will go picture overload now:

The building process:

I must say... These things are A HUGE PAINFUL PAIN IN THE ...... to put together....

Ah ha... Look at me Mum... If I run back and forth as fast as I can, you can't catch me!!!

So about 6 hours, 6 beers, and bruises all over the palms of my hands (thankfully I'm a girl, so that's just funny)... Dexter has his proper home. He's 9 weeks in the pictures, Dwarf bunny. A co-worker had got him a present for her son only to find out that Bunnies don't like being chased by toddlers, aren't "cuddly" like cats, and can cause allergies... After three days she "re-gifted" him to us.

WOW!!! This is an amazing enclosure. I wish I had 1/100th the ingenuity, creativity, and patience you have.

Dexter is going to be the envy of all bunnies :D

Thanks for sharing.

sure looks like some tasty snake food :D

Thanks!!! It was actually quite fun despite the fact that those cubes don't fit together nicely... Especially when using them for an unintended purpose!

It was actually a very economic solution to providing him enough room to really flourish - all told I spent what I would have on the large rabbit enclosure (which is what I keep my rats in, so in my opinion, not enough room for him) new at a pet store, and less than I would have on a dog kennel.... Plus... It just looks FUN... lol

HA HA HA... Everyone keeps asking if I just got him to feed to Kitty... But no... He's too big ;) The rats aren't even Kitty food (they're too big now too... And on a diet).

Hah I just saw that your snake is named "kitty".. I totally have that name reserved for the day I get a boa or blood python.. the bigger the better for names like "kitty".. and of course who can forget "fluffy".

Actually... Fluffy is the next name for us too! lol And Lassie...

We went with Dexter the serial killer with a heart of gold for the bunny though.. It fit his initial antisocial behaviour... lol

And later tonight... We get to see how much he loves the vacuum as I've been avoiding that since I brought him home! lol

That's a remarkable enclosure for him. I'd really like you to post on how he does in it in the next few weeks. See if there are any bugs to work out in it(things he might chew, or jump over, etc). I'll send the link to this to friends with bunnies, since I know they don't have anything so cool for their buns.

That is a really creative way to use those stacking cubes!! Wow, A for ingenuity. :gj:
